Mette Mitchell: Hi, my name is Mette and I am 40 years old and live in Århus, Denmark together with my daughter. I am very inspired by the Japanese philosophy ’wabi sabi’. Wabi sabi is defined as ”a beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. It is a beauty of things modest and humble. It is a beauty of things unconventional.” All my pieces are made with a fascination of the process for the work in front of me, more than a focus on the end result. It’s more like playing and seeing where each piece of work wants to go. In the moment I really enjoy working with tusch and watercolour paper. I drip the tusch onto the paper with a brush and let the drops draw the big fat black lines on the paper. I sometimes spray water on the paper, to add more unpredictable patterns. And sometimes I also mix the tusch with acrylic paint. It is a process I find extremely enjoyable.
